In March of 2008 our family of four (plus 1 dog) hit the road for a yearlong tour of the United States
focusing on American History. This website is our journal from start to finish. Here we have passed along how we homeschooled on the road and
specifically what we learned about American history. We've also provided some lesson plans and activity suggestions
so that you can learn too! 
The past several weeks have been crazy! We've been traveling for months, rarely seeing a familiar face, but it seems that we're making up for lost time now, trying to cram a visit with half the people we know into the time we have left. In the past 3 weeks we've spent time playing with some of our favorite friends who moved to San Antonio just as we were leaving Memphis. While we were there our best buddies from home flew in to surprise Mason for his birthday! What a party that was! The following week we spent several days with my parents in Houston, being spoiled by Nan and Papa. Then we met up with some close family friends who are now retired and are themselves full-timing in an RV. We went to church and later explored the Mississippi bayou with them. From there we made our way to the Florida coast where we've spent the past week visiting our favorite neighbors of all time, who moved to Jacksonville just 3 months before we left. 
The Grand Canyon. I thought it would have a bigger impact on the kids, but standing on the observation deck all they had to say was, "Cool." OK, maybe they're becoming desensitized. Is it possible they've seen too many cool things? I was a little miffed at their reaction, so we rounded up their unappreciative little rear ends and marched them toward the visitor's center to get the Jr. Ranger program booklets. Sometimes the more you know about something the more you appreciate it. Surely that would be the case here. Right?
